Have deleted textures13.db and backed up kodi, have every box ticked. Problem I'm having is when I restore onto the android box or onto the wifes pc, the shortcut thumbnails don't appear. The shortcuts are there but the thumbs are not.

I'm not an expert or anything like that, just a novice who tries.

Hoping this is a simple common issue and not me being a complete twat that ballsed it up.

Thanks in advance!

Most likely the thumbnails references are pointing to a local windows address that just doesn't exist when you move to another machine. The way I get around that is by editing the settings.xml file in userdata/addon_data/skin.xonfluence to use special addresses (which use relative paths inside the kodi folder so work anywhere). I think it's either that (which can be a bit daunting if you're not in the habit of editing .xml's) or re-make the menus (just the problem bits) on each new machine.

If you want to have a go then I'm happy to get you started - you'll need to get hold of your settings.xml file and ideally post it to a paste site, same as you would a log.

Thank you trogggy. I'll do each shortcut that isn't working properly again. Editing .xml's look daunting. Just opened it up and it looks long with all the true/false blah blah blahs. I did notice though further down with alot of the addons the following.....

<setting id="AddonSetTwo.3.Icon" type="string">C:\Users\Geso\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\addons\plugin.video.itv\icon.png</setting>

Its like that on most things so I'm assuming thats where its all gone wrong?

That's the type of thing yep.
eg that one would become something like
special://home/addons/plugin.video.itv/icon.png

If it's a one-off it's probably easier to do it through the gui, but at least you know what's happened.
No twattery involved.

Type the find as C:/users/blah/appdata/roaming/kodi and replace with special://home.
Click the replace all. Job done. 2mins Max.
Then save.

I am having issues installing the xonfluence skin onto kodi 17 Beta 3. Any suggestions?

This issue about the shortcuts pointing to a local link instead of a kodi special link has been discussed quite often.

Is this something that you can fix in the skin itself? It would really help us users with multiple boxes.

THANKS
